The Two Worlds of Jill

Patricia Aks

“I am not a little girl,” I protested. “I’m almost sixteen and mother never cares what time I get home.” “I can’t help what your mother does,” Daddy said. “When you live with me you follow my rules.” Jill’s parents live apart, and Jill spends time with both of them, a month here, a month there… Downtown she’s her mother’s equal with adult responsibilities. Uptown she’s daddy’s little girl. Downtown there’s Jason. Uptown there’s Paul. Jill thinks she can handle anything – until her two world’s look like they’re headed for a collision!
